Question: 2008 recruit jersey numbers

[Born2Roll]

Is there any new info regarding jersey numbers for our incoming freshman? I did a search and other than B.J. Scott wearing #1 there wasn't too much info.

Most jersey numbers won't be announced til August, but here's a few:

January enrollees:
Chris Jackson - 86
Corey Smith - 44

June enrollees:
B J Scott - 1
Star Jackson - 2
Jerrell Harris - 5 (duplicate allowed cause he's on defense, Upchurch on offense)
Julio Jones - 8
Jermaine Preyear - 23
Damion Square - 92 (Gilberry requested Damion take his old number)

I read somewhere that Marcel Dareus will rock #94

sorry just curious..

Doesn't Chris Rogers wear number 8?

 

[ElkhartTider]

as long as chris and julio were never on the field together it would be ok..

julio=offense
chris=defense

Probably due to jersey number in pass skeletons.

Earl Alexander has #82 right now. Julio would not be able to wear his old hish school number. I'm shocked he is not in #22.

A similar thread a week or so ago on another board.

#8 seems like an odd number for him to wear....he's too big....kinda like to see him in #22 or 81 is available..or how about 88

as far as #5, i know its allowed...but not usually done is it? especially for two players who play a lot. what if they were both on special teams?

 

[ElkhartTider]

it seems like EVERYONE wants to see JJ wear #22!..

WHY!

lol besides the two good receivers michael vaugh and DJ wearing it wut is the big deal about that #?.. (i know musso wore it too but he was a HB)

i for one would LOVE to see JJ rock the 8...

BTW, JJ could be an emergency DB. He did that at Foley when called upon. It was cool to see JJ and RL line up in the D. backfield last year against Daphne. Would you throw to a receiver if you knew that the DB in coverage is likely a much better receiver than who your trying to throw to?

WHY!!!

I dont. I want him to wear #81......BC I bought a Keith Brown jersey. lol
